With Music from:

NIGEL BURCH AND THE FLEA PIT ORCHESTRA

Twisted skiffle and spit-and-sawdust vaudeville
from the manic minstrel and his musical misfits

www.myspace.com/nigelburch

‘A cross between the music of Ian Dury, Brecht and Weill, an Irish pub band and a 1950’s skiffle group. Songs of urban-alienation with plenty of fierce spontaneous playing.’ (THE GUARDIAN.)

THE CORRESPONDENTS
www.myspace.com/thecorrespondentsmusic

This veteran duo play swing with a contemporary twist; the Big Band sound of the 20s and 30s revamped for the 21st Century with hip hop beats, drum n bass mc’ing and rhymes about two-tone brogues…

Regularly appearing alongside the likes of Rob Da Bank & Basement Jaxx these fine gentlemen have been gracing the stages of Glastonbury, Secret Garden Party & Bestival to name but a few…

DJ $UAVE
www.myspace.com/theycallhimdjsuave

Having spun records all around the country and a resident DJ @ The New London Burlesque Social Club, $uave specialises in dance floor filling retro classics from the 50’s & 60’s spanning rhythm’n'blues, rockabilly, soul, vegas swing, mambo & all points in-between.

PLUS…

Installation from festival favourites THE LAUNDRETTAS

www.myspace.com/laundrettas

The Laundrettas are a troupe of fifties housewives who enjoy lightening others loads, lending a loving ear to anyone that needs it and they always have gin to hand in emergencies. They will create an interactive playground with plenty of crayons, rolls of paper, hoovers, marigolds and pick n mix.
